Six People We Met at BlizzCon

​More than 26,000 people united AFK (away from keyboard) at the Anaheim Convention Center last weekend for the geekstravaganza that was BlizzCon 2011. We had a chance to meet some of the devout Internet gamers, who traveled from 50 states and 49 countries to celebrate all things Blizzard Entertainment.

Here's what they had to say:

Age: 30

Hometown: Miami.

Dressed as: A warlock of sorts.

Favorite Blizzard game: World of Warcraft.

How often do you play? Well, I quit six times but I think I'm gonna start playing again.

Biggest geek-out moment: When they were playing scenes from Warcraft I and Diablo I, I had a massive nerdgasm. That butcher scene scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. It brought back all sorts of nostalgia.
